Water Managers

SWIIM’s advanced, scalable crop-water planning, management, monitoring and reporting toolset works on water delivered to the field by surface and pipe, in any region. The SWIIM solution is used by our clients for many purposes including tracking water use efficiency, auditing actual water used (near real-time) and tracking saved applied, consumed and sub-surface water use. The system works on all irrigation methods (drip, sprinkler and furrow) and any combination of methods on a single, or multiple fields.

SWIIM Manager is designed to allow for aggregation of a series of planned fields’ water budgets. Whether the provided growers use surface water, groundwater or both sources and whether they irrigate by furrow, sprinkler, drip or a combination of methods, SWIIM Manager can provide the data and analytics for optimizing water distribution. Contact us today to learn how SWIIM Manager can work for a series of fields, whether for just a few plots or the entire service area of a major irrigation district.

WHAT SWIIM CAN DO

SWIIM Manager is designed for water managers (i.e., ditch companies, irrigation districts, farming co-ops). It allows for the aggregation and management of multiple farms that are utilizing SWIIM Planner. It aggregates crop-water budgets on a system-wide basis, regardless if the source is groundwater, surface water, or a combination of the two sources.

SWIIM Certification offers users with a third-party measurement and verification of water deliveries, consumption, efficiency, and realized conservation – that is, the full water balance. This includes monitoring and reporting of actual applied and consumed water use for all fields, or for some subset of fields, using SWIIM Manager. SWIIM’s staff provide all equipment needs including installation, maintenance, data acquisition, quality control, monitoring, and complete reporting. Full reports are prepared and presented after each growing season with the final water balance, and also are available on demand throughout the growing season via SWIIM’s software platform.

With inclusion of SWIIM Certification, the software also integrates with field instrumentation, databases and remote sensing technologies to monitor and verify water savings and actual usage. It generates water use reports suitable for growers, ditch management and state regulatory agencies to aid in monitoring and managing modified water use practices. This can include “alarms” if a specific user is going outside the projected/approved water usage, or as other alarm conditions are present. This provides for third-party, independent auditing of projected, versus actual crop water usage, and shows exactly where changes in water use may be optimal.
